Episode 033 - Christopher Brooks
No full textIn our last episode, we talked with astronomy professor Cornelia Lang about how she uses an active learning classroom in her “Big Ideas” course at the University of Iowa. In this episode, we continue talking about active learning classrooms and the roles that technologies play in supporting student learning in these spaces. At the 2017 POD Network conference in Montreal, Derek Bruff interviewed D. Christopher Brooks, director of research at EDUCAUSE, the higher education technology association

Law, lawyers and litigants in early modern England ::essays in memory of Christopher W. Brooks /
No full textWritten in memory of Christopher W. Brooks, this collection of essays by prominent historians examines and builds on the scholarly legacy of the leading historian of early modern English law, society and politics. Brooks's work put legal culture and legal consciousness at the centre of our understanding of seventeenth and eighteenth century English society, and the English common law tradition. The essays presented here develop a number of strands found in his work, and take them in new directions. They shed new light on central debates in the history of the common law, exploring how law was understood and used by different communities in early modern England, and examining how and why people engaged (or did not engage) in litigation. The volume also contains two hitherto unpublished essays by Christopher Brooks, which consider the relationship between law and religion and between law and political revolution in seventeenth century England

Brooks Winery 20th Anniversary Interview: Jay Somers
No full textThis interview is an oral history conducted by Linfield College archivist Rich Schmidt with Jay Somers of J. Christopher Wines. The interview took place at J. Christopher Wines in Newberg, Oregon on August 30, 2017.
Jay Somers is the owner and winemaker at J. Christopher Wines. In this interview, part of the Brooks Winery 20th Anniversary Project, Somers discusses the unexpected passing of Jimi Brooks, the founder of Brooks Winery, in September of 2004. Many of Brooks\u27s wine industry friends, including Somers, came together to complete Brooks\u27s harvest that year. This interview sheds light on the story of camaraderie in the face of tragedy in the Oregon wine industry

Prediction and control of sound propagation in turbofan engine bypass ducts
No full textThis thesis contains original research into the propagation of sound in acoustically lined ductswith flow. The motivation for this work is the requirement to predict the sound attenuation ofacoustic liners in the bypass duct of modern turbofan aeroengines. The liners provide the mosteffective means with which to suppress the rear fan noise. It is therefore important to makethe best possible use of the available lined area by optimising the liner configuration. A setof analytic and numerical methods for predicting the liner attenuation performance have beendeveloped, which are suitable for use in intensive liner optimisation studies, or as preliminarydesign tools.Eigenvalue solvers have been developed to find modal solutions in rectangular ducts withuniform flow and annular ducts with sheared flow. The solvers are validated by replicatingresults from the scientific literature and the Finite Element method. The effect of mean coreflow radial profile and boundary layers on the mode eigenfunctions and axial decay rates areconsidered. It is shown that solutions for thin boundary layer flows converge to those based onthe commonly used slip flow boundary condition. It is demonstrated that realistic flow profilesshould be used to assess acoustic mode propagation in bypass ducts. The flow profile can havestrong effects upon low order modes and surface waves, and in fact at high frequencies, theprofile can affect all the modes.Mode-matching schemes are developed to assess the power attenuation performance andmodal scattering of finite length liners. The results of the schemes are used to show that refractionof sound by boundary layers increases attenuation at high frequency. Power attenuationis higher where the mean core flow gradient refracts sound towards the liner. It is found thatasymmetric liners can provide improved attenuation, depending on the direction of the meanflow shear gradient.The optimisation of axially-segmented liners for single and multi-mode sources is demonstrated.It is found that potentially large improvements in the attenuation of tonal noise is possible,whilst benefits for broadband noise are more difficult to achieve
